Summary of the contracting process

Humber Bridge Board procured a hanger testing and replacement scheme for the Humber Bridge. The works cover supplying two new bridge cable hangers to replace existing hangers, then destructively testing the removed hangers to establish their remaining service life and whether they can safely continue in use. This is specialist bridge engineering, structural steelwork, cable and structural component work, combining construction works with related goods. Delivery is associated with the Humber Bridge in the Humber area, with the buyer based at Ferriby Road, Hessle. The requirement was managed by Humber Bridge Board, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful supplier was Spencer Group, an SME based in Hull.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Spencer Group. It used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed, and the contract was awarded to the most advantageous tender. There was one lot, with no additional selection criteria stated. The tender value was £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 gross). The contract was signed on 23 July 2026, runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027, and has an awarded contract value of £846,350.01 excluding VAT (£1,015,620.01 gross). The tender’s planned delivery period was 18 June 2026 to 30 June 2027. An initial location restriction to Lincolnshire, SMEs and VCSEs was corrected; the competition was open to all suitable suppliers.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Humber Bridge Board for specialist inspection, replacement and testing of bridge cable hangers, combining structural engineering works with the manufacture or supply of replacement components. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design, supply and install bridge hanger components, manage replacement works on an operational bridge structure, and arrange destructive testing of removed hangers. Relevant capability spans bridge engineering, structural steelwork, cables, structural products and civil engineering works. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business or an appropriately qualified consortium. Experience in assessing residual structural service life and producing evidence to support continued safe operation would be directly relevant to this buyer’s needs.
